Q & A

Q: Mr. Wiki Wizard, I want to describe how to create a wiki TOC. How do I write the TOC tag so that SL will display the actual tag rather than the TOC it represents?

A: Either use spaces like "% % TOC % %" or use some markup like %%TOC%% or some "invisible markup" like %%TOC%% (you need to see the source to see how it's done). Works for other tokens as well.


Q: Mr. Wiki Wizard. I wanted to know if it is possible to change the color of the text in Wiki. In adddition is there a way to define what is listed in the TOC?

A: No to both answers: you cannot change color, you cannot define what's listed in TOC.


Q: Mr. Wiki Wizard. How do I edit the footer?. I want to say last Edited by Geoff Kaniuk for example.

A: Go to user preferences, and create a new account. Then you will have to be logged in so that your changes will be in your name.

Q: jfc: Mr Wizard, Can I mark black and white stones with letters? If not, can this feature be added?

A: No. It's unlikely to be added as it would require two letters: one for the stone, one for the letter and that would violate the one character per diagram point rule.


Q: How can an "experienced deshi" (set in user preferences) restore a page to a previous version (e.g., after making changes he later regretted)? And why is it so hard to find the answer to this question in the existing documentation? Later... OK, I am an "experienced deshi", so why I don't see a "Revive" button when I edit a page?

A: There is no button. It is a link below the text edit box. It got renamed to "Undo edit from previous author".

Q: OK, thanks, but how I can "undo my own previous (mistaken) edit"? I tried the above link, and it didn't work.


Q: Dear Mr Wiki Wizard, is there a markup trick for making text appear below a diagram? i.e. without using repeated %%%'s?

A: Yes, read the manual! %%%% does the trick!
